my first casino poker experience was in Feb, 1996 at the Grand (I think the Biloxi one....but it might have been the Gulfport one).
I remember this because I briefly lived in Hattiesburg...and stopped off there on my way down to Florida when I got another job offer.
I specifically remember when I moved so I know that this Grand poker experience was in Feb, 1996. I don't know how long the room had been open before then.
I played 7-card stud (didn't know how to play hold-em) and had no idea what I was doing. I played every hand and lost $300 or so in a 1-5 game while chatting away with some old-timers.
Except for playing in a mini 7-card stud tourney at an indian-casino in Tampa in 1997 I didn't play again until Feb, 2003 when I was told about online-poker and decided to give it a try. For the first couple weeks I still couldn't remember whether a flush beat a full-house or vice-versa.
